"We should have won, we just weren't lucky."

The words were said by coach Dani in a post-match press conference against PSIS.

Another reporter attempted to dig Dani's wounds even deeper but ended up with no results. Coach Dani chose silence and no voice.

He was in a bad mood after being held to a draw. Thanks to this, the team failed to shift the position of Bali United.

As they felt they could not get the news through coach Dani, they began to shift their focus to coach Sergio.

"Coach Sergio, what do you think about the game this time?"

"It's unfortunate when we fail to get the three points. If Raka's last kick wasn't interrupted I'm sure we secured three points at home against Persija."

In the end the questions began to lead to Raka and coach Sergio answered wisely.

"Team victory is a collective victory. There is nothing between the player and the other players. Raka does have the ability but I firmly say this is the result of the ability of the whole team."

Playing as a starting eleven against Persija is not the end. Since then coach Sergio began to play Raka as a starter.

The draw against Persija was like the last wind for PSIS. They cannot always focus on the past, because the next week they will fight Peachesota.

This time Raka also played as a starter. In that match PSIS managed to secure three points with a score advantage of 3 - 2.

Raka did not score a goal or assist in that match. But the statistics cannot be underestimated.

Throughout the game Raka made 82 touches with a 74-pass trial. The percentage of successful feeds is also still above 90%.

Their position in the standings rose constantly steadily starting to approach the top 4.

The week also brought other news. Coach Arema Malang has been dismissed from his position as coach. The bad result because being in 9th position is the reason their coach was dismissed.

They get results that are so bad even though Somer was brought in with a price.

Dudung, a former assistant national team coach was appointed as a temporary replacement coach before recruiting other talented coaches.

The next opponent is PSIS Semarang. This is an opportunity for the Dudung coach to show his teeth.

On the other hand this is a golden opportunity for PSIS to get three more points. They will take advantage of the time when Arema is in transition.

Malang, Kanjuruhan Stadium

How crazy are football fans in India? Maybe now could be the answer.

Currently with the weather 32 degrees Celsius in the dry season, Aremania mentions to Arema supporters with a loud voice singing anthemnya.

There was even one of the supporters who wore costumes despite the very hot weather.

The bad results obtained by the club did not make them stop supporting but it made Aremania more persistent to support their favorite club.

Arema players on the field also like getting stimulus. They played vigorously launching an attack on PSIS.

Somer also appeared more aggressive when it made PSIS defenders overwhelmed. With his sturdy body he kept lunging forward.

Raka who tried to seize the ball also bounced when hit by Somer.

Luckily Revelation managed to throw the ball away from the field. Coach Sergio is also aware of Somer's level of danger so he told two players to look after him.

"Damn it whether he's human or a rhino" coach Sergio swore in his heart.

Throw in performed by Arema. Through the left side of the field arema winger penetrated into the PSIS defense.

Crossing is done and the ball soars high. Three people were seen waiting inside the penalty zone to welcome the ball.

They are two PSIS defenders and one Arema player. Alie, Wahyu, and Somer jump for the ball.

This is the helplessness of PSIS players. In the air Somer thrusts his body into Alie, causing him to bounce. As for the Revelation the jump is not too high to block the ball.

Somer easily heads the ball. Fortunately Ray had swiftly anticipated the direction of the ball. The ball is caught easily.

PSIS almost conceded early. They are not ready with the physical strength of Somer which is quite horror. No PSIS player can shake Somer.

Ray who was lying down started to stand up. He threw the ball into the air before kicking it.

The long-range ball from Ray was aimed at Carl but he failed because the ball was headed first by Arema players.

Arema once again made an attack. From right to left, from left to center. The ball was finally at Somer's feet, once again he dribbled and entered the penalty zone.

Revelation tries to get close to grab the ball but is easily pushed when Somer's shoulder hits it.

Gaining a bit of space to shoot, Somer unhesitatingly shot the ball hard.

Ray tries to catch the ball, but when the ball comes into contact with the palm of the hand, Ray immediately pulls back.

The ball was too loud and his hands were in pain despite wearing gloves.

When his focus was sidetracked with the pain in his hand, Somer instantly added another kick.

This time the ball went in without a fight.

"Someerr jebreettt, what a pity it managed to pat, ohh what is this ball bouncing Somer yak .. Gooolllllll

Ivory Coast striker Somer scored the opening goal for Arema. Viewers all look at her figure, with her physical abilities PSIS players are made helpless like a child."

"Bung Burhan, the events this time should be able to make Aremania happy."

"Truely Bung Haris. Now they need not doubt Somer's abilities. The expensive price that Arema paid was really worth it."

"It's a pity that he was on fire when he entered midweek. Coach Arema had previously failed to make full use of Somer's abilities."

"True, if only from the beginning Somer can play like this, it looks like the top three must have Arema there."

"Instead of talking about Somer, this time Raka was like meeting her counter. Throughout the game he always lost his balance when physically colliding with Arema players."

"Raka's only weakness is his thin physique. Meeting Arema whose style of play is physically aggressive he should be quite difficult.

The previous game was just an appetizer, Raka has not felt the original face of league 1. Now I officially welcome you to the league 1, the league of the barbarians hahaha"

"Hahaha it could be you, man. But I wonder if he is able to cope or vice versa. Well let's keep watching the game."

What Bung Haris and Bung Burhan said is true. At the moment Raka is quite difficult to process the ball.

He felt the physical play of Arema's players was too rough but the referee did not blow his whistle. League 1 is famous for the rigors of physical play so referees unknowingly loosen the level of fairness.

In the end PSIS had to concede a two-point lead before the break. Somer scored once again through an aerial duel.
